I copied in the same password with which I am able to login to github.

Thanks for any help.

Hmm. When you say copied, do you mean copy paste? I'm using https://github.com/isaacs/read for the prompt, which apparently has some limitations.

If you don't mind, you could also try:

gista --user trentm --password xxx --gentoken

Yes, I meant copy/paste. It worked when I manually type in the password. Thanks.

Boo on "read". :) I didn't see an appropriate issue on isaac's project.

To conclude, this is actually an issue with a dependency. I'll create an issue upstream.
